Gunite Swimming Pool Details

If you’re looking for a high-quality, long-term investment, this may be the pool for you. Here are just some of the reasons people love gunite pools:

Near-endless customization

We build gunite pools to your exact specifications, so the shape and size of your pool are almost limitless. We can also add extras like tanning ledges, steps, and more. Let’s get creative!

The pool finish

We offer a wide range of options for your pool’s surface. From plaster to pebble to all-tile, you can choose your colors, textures, and styles to create the look you want.

Great durability and a long lifespan

Gunite swimming pools are built to last. With proper maintenance, you can expect to enjoy your pool for up to 20 years or more.

Do keep these things in mind:

  • Concrete pools require maintenance. Because concrete is naturally porous, the pool walls may need to be brushed more often to prevent algae.
  • Your installation will take some time. With a gunite pool, you can expect your swimming pool installation process to take several weeks or even a couple of months.
  • Despite the higher price tag, many swimming pool owners tell us that the gunite pool’s long lifespan makes up for the higher initial cost.

It’s Not Paradise Until It’s Finished!

You should expect your backyard to be somewhat messy and “visually unpleasant” during the installation process. Completion times vary based on the type of pool and state and local inspection criteria. We’ll spell out the precise terms, time frames and responsibilities of each party in your contract.

Excavation

After preparing an access way to your pool site your pool layout will be marked in your backyard. Make sure that any trees and areas that you want to protect are clearly marked. You and/or your builder will need to gather all of the necessary permits. Heavy equipment will be brought in to dig the hole.

Framing

We will set and secure the substructure of the pool to keep it in place. The bottom of the pool is then shaped and smoothed. At this point, it should begin to look like a pool! The plumbing system is positioned, including pipes connecting to the main drains and inlets. The builder will also frame the surrounding deck and walkway areas. Wiring is also installed at this time.

Finishing

Depending on the type of pool you have chosen, it is now time to install the interior finish. Gunite pools are finished with pneumatically applied concrete. Vinyl pools will have a liner installed. Fiberglass pools will have a one-piece shell installed. Once this is complete, the pool will be filled with water and the builder will complete the deck, coping and walkway areas.

accessories

Accessories

Accent pieces, hardware and water filtration systems are now ready for installation. Now is the perfect time to install the appropriate safety signage. Adding one or two dramatic accessories will set the mood. Don’t forget patio furniture and umbrellas. Consider well made pieces as the investment will be well worth the price. Grills and outdoor fire pits will make the look.

Landscape & Lighting

Set the mood with decorative lighting to enhance your pool’s features and don’t forget lighting for patios and walkways. Landscaping will complete the look. Once completed, the paradise of your dreams will be a backyard reality – step right in!

Gunite Swimming Pool Options

Interior Finish
A variety of selections are available, including white plaster, colored plaster, painting, pebble, quartz or glass bead finishes. Whatever you choose, the results will add to the overall beauty of your pool.

Decking & Coping
Your decking choices are unlimited – wood-grain composite, stained concrete, stamped concrete, natural stone, cool deck (coating, colored/textured), deck pavers or tile. Edges that blend from the deck into your pool are most frequently used. Whatever material you choose, the end result will be an attractive, comfortable outdoor space that complements your home.

Upgrades & Accessories
It is generally more cost effective to plan the features you desire at the time of initial construction and installation. However, many features can be added after installation. Consider including spillover or island spas, rock or step waterfalls, interior finishes and colors, accent medallions, laminar jets, rain showers, sheer curtains, misters, lighting effects and pool heaters.

You can also accessorize your poolscape with volleyball and basketball setups, backyard grills, fire pits, slides, loungers, pool covers and outdoor furniture.

Installation
It’s not paradise until it’s finished. You should expect your backyard to be “visually unpleasant” and somewhat messy during the installation process. Expect a gunite installation to take between eight and 12 weeks.
